Digital Divide, Working Time And Social Ties In The Algerian Organizational Environment: A Grounded Theory Approach
Authors : Oussaidane Yassine .
Abstract
This study investigates the multidimensional effects of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption on human resources within the Algerian organizational context. Drawing on Grounded Theory as its methodological framework—through a rigorous, three-stage process of open, axial, and selective coding—and informed by 30 semi-structured interviews conducted with managers from diverse public and private organizations, the research examines three interconnected dimensions: the intra-organizational digital divide, the recomposition of professional temporalities, and the transformation of social ties at work. The findings reveal the emergence of a second-degree digital divide, a growing permeability between professional and personal time, and an original triple relational configuration that enables the theorization of actor–organization adjustment modes under the influence of ICTs.
